The Spurs have 8 picks/swaps between 2028-2031. That's when Wemby is going into his second contract. They solidifying the entire future year by year and still developing their previous picks. People keep saying its a bad draft? Well the Spurs just got two first round picks in exchange for 1 in a bad draft. This is what planning at another level is
As a spurs fan, people bought into the dillingham hype way too hard. I think he could be a solid lou will lite type of guy but we have castle and all else isn’t all that important. Spurs are ready to make a move in free agency or try and make a trade for a costar for Wemby down the line
@@russjordan6186spurs were a top 10 defense post all star break with vassell johnson and sochan all being injured for portions throughout the end of the season. Yet they were consistently god awful on offense and bottom 10 even with wemby on the floor and now they’re putting all their bets on castle to fix it, who’s a 26% shooter from 3? Spurs fans have been brainwashed into thinking that all that matters is defense and that we will magically get better if we just keep stacking on defense when we already have the best defensive rookie of all time.

Think about how absurd it is that the drive where u just need a fg to win u lose ur 1st rb, lucky u have another guy who is also really good and he gets injured a couple of plays after now ur on a 4th down and ur only chance to score is a really long fg
Keegan Murray. Brandon Miller. The 40% from 3 might have been unheard of several years ago, but the best shooters in the league are a few points above 40%. The guys I mentioned above are shooting over six 3s per game, Murray shot over 40% from 3 his rookie year, and Miller shot over 37%. It's not unrealistic, even for rookies.
I'm so happy we got Daron Holmes. Gonna be so nice having a bench that isn't going to go down 10 points in the 4-5 minutes Jokic sits after the first quarter
- castle in san antonio (dejounte 2.0) -ime will love reed - really love Salaun next to Melo/Miller - Conley doesnt look too small in ‘Sota, Rob will be fine -Topic replaces giddey (caruso for free) -If Wares jumper is real, bam can play the 4 next to him - if im the Celtics i trade Hauser and replace with schierman
@@henry7486 very real possibility a team offers a mid first for hauser if available, baylor is on a cheap 4 year deal who can already do all the things hauser can, just not as polished. You save the money you would have to spend by resigning hauser. (Im a celtics fan by the way, im an NBA nerd, but a Celtics diehard)
@@henry7486 also should mention i would have taken furphy, klintman, bona, filipowski, mccullar jr, christie, & tyler smith all over baylor if i was picking for boston (in that order)
Conley actually was too small if u go back and watch the playoffs whenever they needed defense they'd bring in NAW cus teams would start targeting Conley. Minnesota despite being a great defense have this weird habit of leaving their guys on an island, which is fine for a time but usually really good defensive teams help and known when to stunt and give help defense, the wolves just didn't which is why they got 4-0'd by the mavs. Imagine if instead of Rudy getting killed on a drop against Luka its just Luka straight up just scoring over Dillingham and pushing him around cus he's just too small, also big difference between him and Conley is despite being almost the same height Conley is like 20 pounds heavier which is why Dillingham will struggle more than Conley as a defender
i def wouldnt trade hauser if i were the celtics. hauser played great in the finals and has shown that he can play well in the lineup. I see no reason to trade him for a future first when they're in title contention and hauser can help them win it.
They got fred Vinson, who if you remember was the shooting coach that drastically improved lonzos mechanics and increased both bi and lonzos three point percentage. Ik its not essentially magic, but hey if it worked for BI and Zo, who knows.
Great recap overall Funky, but at around 9:43 you said “[Cody Williams] can dribble” which I disagree with pretty heavily. Cody Williams biggest weakness to me is his dribbling ability, more so his dribble penetration. Numerous times in college he would get stalled on a drive to the rim, or he would pick up his dribble too early, or waste a lot of clock trying to create/attack something that just wasn’t there, or just turn it over. I like Cody Williams as a prospect, but highlighting his dribbling as a strength is off the mark to me
A little deeper in the draft, Pels I think got a pretty good defensive center for the future who may not crack the rotation this year, or might get like 10-15 minutes, but in 2-3 years could really step up. Yes the jump shot’s a question but I also think the “need” for a floor spacing big next to Zion is overblown. The year with Adams they also had Eric Bledsoe which complicates things, in theory JV could shoot but that never really worked out (and low key Ingram started taking fewer 3’s the last 3 years which hurts even more), and if they get Lopez like the rumor mill suggests they’re thinking about, then Missi has the perfect mentor.
@@maxmeier532 we legit dont have alot of bigs. Just Jaylin and Chet. I agree tho, Id rather take a seasoned big via a trade or free agency than draft an unproven one
Yeh flip is a 4 that he projects to be and is a really good rebounder improved his defense, and with okc he will have lower usage, so I think he will fit nicely and address their rebounding woes
As a dutchman I am very confused to how difficult his name is to pronounce for americans, but our surnames tend to be a bit tricky for non-native speakers
I feel like it’s going to surprise people. The consensus is that it’s the worst class in a while but I still think a star or two and multiple elite role players will come out of this draft similar to 2022
Wolves didn't give 2 picks. They gave 1 unprotected pick and 1 protected swap. A swap is not giving a pick - both Spurs and Wolves will still have a pick that year.
Wizards are very quickly becoming one of my favorite rebuilding teams to watch. Fortunately for me the Nets are rebuilding now so i can now enjoy that rebuilding process for the first real time ever myself.
@@Biid21 Brooklyn gotta use cap space the next four years anyways, might as well use it to retain Clax, and next year Thomas, while we build through the draft, then once we are on the rise we decide then to keep or move on from them.
@@Biid21 I truthfully don't look at Cam Thomas as a future piece at all and never have tbh. Still on the fence about Claxton. Would ofc love to be wrong. Both good players still don't get me wrong. But I mean might as well keep them while in your dog days so you have talent and you gotta pay people regardless + way down the road can get you something if you decide to eventually trade them.
@@Mrdonjuliothewicked I agree (as a sixer fan) I think you could get a good pick or pick(s) and or player for cam, claxton I like a lot even if 100mil is an overpay, his defense is elite but his lack of shooting will always hurt in the playoffs especially at the ft line
Shout to funky. He’s a Celtics fan and understand how rookies don’t play much on lebron lead teams. Even the laker accts don’t seem to understand that 12:28
Hawks on a mission to remain mid forever. The most mid selection u could make with the 1st pick. And my God. That horrible pistons spacing with Ron Holland added to it is 🤢🤮
Alex Sarr is not him. There was no high upside (potential superstar) draft except for maybe Matas Buzelis but he could also end up being trash. Risacher was the best pick imo, they could have maybe traded it but I don’t think anybody really wanted the #1 pick
This was the worst draft to have the #1 pick in honestly. I'd be very surprised if anybody taken in the top 10 becomes a perennial All NBA caliber player.
Y’all don’t know nothing 😂😂😂. The best player in the draft REFUSED to work out with the Hawks. Tell me how it makes sense to draft someone who doesn’t want to play for your team? Hawks already got enough drama as is
Literally their best asset going forward and they move him like it’s nothing. Sarr would obviously become their bigger hope, Bilal is really good, and Kuzma has value, but it’s hilarious just punting on a guy when you’re so bereft of talent and guys who are solid defenders.
this draft didnt have a single hype prospect at all lol. I have a feeling theres gonna be alot of great players tho. the lowkey players always strive the most.
I don't know why, but I just have a strange feeling Ayton is gonna end up on the Kings. Slide Sabonis to the 4, Keegan to the 3 With Fox and either Monk or Ellis as your SG. The idea has just been stuck in my head ever since Portland took Clingan.
I don’t think that makes any sense. Not only is it a spacing nightmare, it fundamentally opposes the offensive style that’s given them their success so far and it doesn’t even seem that beneficial defensively
Absolutely terrible for the Kings. Spacing nightmare and Ayton isn't a competitor at all he plays to get his check and while there's nothing inherently wrong with that that's not the kind of guy you'd want as one of your highest paid players attempting to build a title contender.
How did the great college LEGEND Bronny James go undrafted?!?! Hawks are going to be regretting this for years, hes gonna put up crazy numbers in Shanghai.
T-shannom shouldn't went earlier, so did knight. I hate the notion that these 4,5 year collegiate players don't have upside, but their skillset is tremendous.
you want way too much out of him. saying to capitalize on his potential by shooting 7+ 3s on 40% is insane. only 6 players did it this year and 3 of them are superstars 2 were former all stars and then you have a 3 point specialist in divencenzo. as long as he can play great defense and score 20+ on good efficiency it was worth the pick the hawks don't need a franchise player they need a #2 or #3 option that knows his role and will play it well.
I don't think he's getting to 20 the dude averaged 10 in Europe it is easier to score in the nba but still wemby didn't jump up in ppg and Luka only improved 3-4 points I believe. Now those are generational guys who immediately became 1st options, it's hard to say how many touches rissacher will get imo it's a weird fit. U have Jalen Johnson, Hunter, Bojan and Bey (RFA) who can all play the positions Zach can and then u still have Trae and DJ who teams don't wanna trade for and the teams that do would give u less than pennies on the dollar so they're likely still gonna be on the team and need their touches
@@Sqeaky6969 not even in his rookie year, im expecting 12-3-4 his first year on his 43% from the field. im saying when he fully develops hes a 22-5-5 guy every night with great defense
Lol said let me get this right and then GOT IT WRONG. It’s a 2031 first and a 2030 pick swap. A first for first and swap. So long as ant and wemby are still playing on their teams that pick swap will be in the 20s and the 2031 pick will be later than 8. I get spurs fans that are annoyed.
Lakers living in yo head rent fee lol. Knecht was projected to be a top 10 pick but he ended up failling at 17. Bet your goofy ass didn't know that 🤣 🤣
Feel bad for deni man bro got traded to another terrible roster wanted him on a contender tbh we need to see deni in the playoffs not on a team that's gonna be rebuilding for the next 5 years
A team with wemby surrounded by a young core and the third most draft picks in the league 7 years down the line as opposed to… the wolves who have no picks and no cap in a small market with an aging core around Anthony Edwards ? Yeah they’ll want the swap lol. Wolves outlook that far in the future is pretty grim
@@ztlabraptor211even if kat and gobert are gone, the wolves will have rob dillingham jaden mcdaniels and ant all in their primes. the spurs virtually gave the 8th pick away for nothing. All they’re going to get is a bottom 10 pick 7 years down the line.
@@denzel8827 Jaden McDaniels and ant alone don’t guarantee you anything first off. Secondly we don’t know they’re still there, McDaniels will hit FA and ant may demand a trade as countless other stars have done. Thirdly Rob is far from a safe bet to be a meaningful contributor, let alone a star… the juries out on him. Most projections have him as a Lou will type player.
Only winner is this draft are Wolves who bagged a real gold and Spurs, idk why the hell Rockets wasted a third pick on a short white guy? him and Zacharie will struggle badly
@@ztlabraptor211yeah it's crazy Sheppard is the dude who's the best athlete arguably in the class and has a way more ready nba build at 20 pounds more than Dillingham when they got weighed at the combine
@@ztlabraptor211fr reeds fit is perfect thats low maintenance and efficient, also play some pesky-hard nosed defense with udoka. Felt like rob is more of a bucket-getter, but his usage rate would not bode well with the rest of high volume guys imo
The spurs got absolutely fleeced. I actually can’t believe they just gave up Rob Dillingham and the 8th pick in the draft for a bag of chips. I’m in shambles.
You must rate Dilly extremely highly then. Seems like a lot of people are. I don't think it was a crazy fleecing. Spurs just got future assets for a player they probably don't love. Dilly would have been cool tho but yeah clearly most nba execs don't see him as a star or anything crazy.
@@SS-tz3qd i do rate dilly extremely highly, but it’s more of the fact that this next season and MAYBE the season after are the last chances the spurs are gonna get to take big swings and naturally develop these players next to wemby while he is as well. By year 3 or 4 he’s a perennial MVP candidate. They could’ve picked anyone else with upside like williams, buzelis, or carter, and it would’ve been fine. Yet they decide to trade the 8th pick and bet on the wolves being trash in 2030 and 31 with a prime ant mcdaniels and dillingham all on their roster, and i can guarantee the wolves are gonna flip KAT and Gobert in the next few years to fill their rosters future out again. i honestly believe there’s a 1% chance the twolves are so trash in the future it warrants giving up on the insane potential of dilly williams or buzelis, and it stings even worse because these players fit the exact archetypes they need. in the long term it doesn’t matter since spurs have a boatload of picks, but getting into the habit of just throwing away picks while you have little time to still develop these young players is just plain stupid imo. wasting any time while wemby can compete would be a shame, it would be like a repeat of those lebron years on the cavs.
@@Tobe-rt5ruthey're not trading for Trae, the spurs shut that down almost immediately after that came out, they tried and if he isn't gonna be on a discount he isn't worth it even on one he probably isn't worth it. Dillingham is nothing special in a normal draft he'd be closer to the 15-20 range closer to 20 than 15, he scores but that'll more than likely be his best nba skill while also being the worst defender in the league possibly and not adding much else. A Lou Will type and go look through Lou Wills career and see how many teams he actually helped
@@denzel8827 I think this all depends on what spurs do with these picks. It's worth remembering that this is seen as a insanely weak draft generally speaking (not to say there is no talent there) and so personally I don't feel too bothered about getting more assets for the future instead of drafting a player that you just don't care for. Doesn't mean Dilly won't be good but there are some clear questionmarks there. I also think the picks Spurs got in this trade are most likely gonna be used in another trade if I had to guess, regardless we really don't know how good the twolves will be in 2031. I mean thats 7 years away, we know that their whole core will pretty much be gone at that point and we have no idea what the team will look like as a whole. So the value of the pick is actually pretty decent just for that reason alone, not crazy value but not nothing certainly, would be different if it was their pick for next year for example. Anyway I think spurs will start using these assets soon enough to get another star with wemby and/or to start adressing issues with the squad. Assuming that happens and they start building a serious team around Wemby im good.

give it a few years and 40% will be considered a poor shooter.
Stuck out to me as well, that was crazy
I'm so happy we got Daron Holmes. Gonna be so nice having a bench that isn't going to go down 10 points in the 4-5 minutes Jokic sits after the first quarter
Nah, yer definitely going down everytime he sits and when he doesn’t sit against us.
Love,
Minneapolis
@@discowolf25 Your team still hasn't won a title. You're also acting like you swept us; the series was 7 games.
I think Topic to the Thunder as a backup guard is a great move
- castle in san antonio (dejounte 2.0)
-ime will love reed
- really love Salaun next to Melo/Miller
- Conley doesnt look too small in ‘Sota, Rob will be fine
-Topic replaces giddey (caruso for free)
-If Wares jumper is real, bam can play the 4 next to him
- if im the Celtics i trade Hauser and replace with schierman
Why would they trade Hauser rn, Schierman has not even played a second of NBA basketball yet.
@@henry7486 very real possibility a team offers a mid first for hauser if available, baylor is on a cheap 4 year deal who can already do all the things hauser can, just not as polished. You save the money you would have to spend by resigning hauser. (Im a celtics fan by the way, im an NBA nerd, but a Celtics diehard)
@@henry7486 also should mention i would have taken furphy, klintman, bona, filipowski, mccullar jr, christie, & tyler smith all over baylor if i was picking for boston (in that order)
Conley actually was too small if u go back and watch the playoffs whenever they needed defense they'd bring in NAW cus teams would start targeting Conley. Minnesota despite being a great defense have this weird habit of leaving their guys on an island, which is fine for a time but usually really good defensive teams help and known when to stunt and give help defense, the wolves just didn't which is why they got 4-0'd by the mavs. Imagine if instead of Rudy getting killed on a drop against Luka its just Luka straight up just scoring over Dillingham and pushing him around cus he's just too small, also big difference between him and Conley is despite being almost the same height Conley is like 20 pounds heavier which is why Dillingham will struggle more than Conley as a defender
i def wouldnt trade hauser if i were the celtics. hauser played great in the finals and has shown that he can play well in the lineup. I see no reason to trade him for a future first when they're in title contention and hauser can help them win it.
I was really curious as to his thoughts on Da Silva to the Magic, then he stopped one pick short at Knecht 😭
Isaiah Collier falling to 29 is insane
Not really

This Like Another Version Of The 2013 Draft Class
omg! sorry ass draft class role player draft
How? The talent is way better y’all be following these goofy ahh narratives without actually doing research
Bronny bro. He the chosen one
That 2013 draft wasn’t even bad…. Gave us Giannis, Gobert, McCollum, Oladipo, and a lot of good role players
@@Colton027 Yeah Thats What Im Saying. Its Going To Be Some Hidden Gems In This Draft And Some Major Busts Lol
As a hawks fan, we’ll see y’all in the lottery next year
Billionaire’s son running the team yeah duh
Cade and fontecchio going to vbe begging someone else to hit a 3
Fontecchio better off leaving that hellhole
Fr like wtffff
Fontecchio gonna take 12 threes a game 😭
They got fred Vinson, who if you remember was the shooting coach that drastically improved lonzos mechanics and increased both bi and lonzos three point percentage. Ik its not essentially magic, but hey if it worked for BI and Zo, who knows.
timberwolves and wizards won the draft i think. Not to mention Insane steal for the lakers as well somehow snagging Dalton Knecht too
Great recap overall Funky, but at around 9:43 you said “[Cody Williams] can dribble” which I disagree with pretty heavily. Cody Williams biggest weakness to me is his dribbling ability, more so his dribble penetration. Numerous times in college he would get stalled on a drive to the rim, or he would pick up his dribble too early, or waste a lot of clock trying to create/attack something that just wasn’t there, or just turn it over. I like Cody Williams as a prospect, but highlighting his dribbling as a strength is off the mark to me
A little deeper in the draft, Pels I think got a pretty good defensive center for the future who may not crack the rotation this year, or might get like 10-15 minutes, but in 2-3 years could really step up. Yes the jump shot’s a question but I also think the “need” for a floor spacing big next to Zion is overblown. The year with Adams they also had Eric Bledsoe which complicates things, in theory JV could shoot but that never really worked out (and low key Ingram started taking fewer 3’s the last 3 years which hurts even more), and if they get Lopez like the rumor mill suggests they’re thinking about, then Missi has the perfect mentor.
Topic will operate the bench lineup until he proves he can be an elite playmaker
Matas Buzelis is going to surprise you ALL
He cares too much about what is said about him on twitter.
So this is what it feels like to have a competent GM! Go TWolves!
Wolves moved 1 frp pick and a protected 1 pick swap :)
Okc really messed up not picking Tyler smith or Filipkowski. They neeeded rebounding and size!!
they got plenty of bigs already, it's just that only Chet is high level. One more tall rookie isnt going to cut the deal.
@@maxmeier532 we legit dont have alot of bigs. Just Jaylin and Chet. I agree tho, Id rather take a seasoned big via a trade or free agency than draft an unproven one
There still available 😂
Yeh flip is a 4 that he projects to be and is a really good rebounder improved his defense, and with okc he will have lower usage, so I think he will fit nicely and address their rebounding woes
@@maxmeier532 they don’t . Jaylin can’t rebound and dieng is very raw. They are missing a lot length and size.
I'm happy the blazers got clingin.
"I'm terrified of these draft picks"
It's hilarious that Dalton's last name is to hard for everyone to pronounce and they all just settle for "Connect".
True, but that "ch" sound is tough to pronounce correctly for English speakers.
As a dutchman I am very confused to how difficult his name is to pronounce for americans, but our surnames tend to be a bit tricky for non-native speakers
Let’s hope he connects on those 3s
This is gonna be a good draft class
I feel like it’s going to surprise people. The consensus is that it’s the worst class in a while but I still think a star or two and multiple elite role players will come out of this draft similar to 2022
As a rockets fan very happy to get Reed he the perfect fit for our team as a shooter and playmaker
Funky is terrified of the timberwolves
We were waiting funky
Looking foward to this class. Not a clue who anyone is.
If I were to guess -
Best player in the draft: Alexandre Sarr.
Best value pick: Rob Dillingham.
He was spot on Murray just got traded lol
Wolves didn't give 2 picks. They gave 1 unprotected pick and 1 protected swap. A swap is not giving a pick - both Spurs and Wolves will still have a pick that year.
I expected more trades was pretty quiet honestly. Pretty happy Knecht fell to the Lakers, Joey and Jesse Buss> Rob Pelinka confirmed.
“Let me get this right” about the Rob Dillingham trade and then still got it wrong lol
I just love how the Blazers has like 4 centers now
I’m happy with the bulls pick ngl
So Happy. If he develops a jumper he’s all star bound
Wizards are very quickly becoming one of my favorite rebuilding teams to watch. Fortunately for me the Nets are rebuilding now so i can now enjoy that rebuilding process for the first real time ever myself.
You gave claxton 100$ mill im crine
@@Biid21 Brooklyn gotta use cap space the next four years anyways, might as well use it to retain Clax, and next year Thomas, while we build through the draft, then once we are on the rise we decide then to keep or move on from them.
@@Mrdonjuliothewicked Thomas isn’t a future piece most likely when it’s all said and done but I get what ur saying, just cracking joke
@@Biid21 I truthfully don't look at Cam Thomas as a future piece at all and never have tbh. Still on the fence about Claxton. Would ofc love to be wrong. Both good players still don't get me wrong. But I mean might as well keep them while in your dog days so you have talent and you gotta pay people regardless + way down the road can get you something if you decide to eventually trade them.
@@Mrdonjuliothewicked I agree (as a sixer fan) I think you could get a good pick or pick(s) and or player for cam, claxton I like a lot even if 100mil is an overpay, his defense is elite but his lack of shooting will always hurt in the playoffs especially at the ft line
This is gonna be pretty interesting😗🔥

Shout to funky. He’s a Celtics fan and understand how rookies don’t play much on lebron lead teams. Even the laker accts don’t seem to understand that 12:28
How will the hawks new pick get to 7 threes when he only scores on the average 7 points a game ??
Wizards came militant last night😤
5 seconds for one 1st is crazy
When you have as many picks as OKC has you don’t have much roster room anyways so they might as well take swings
@@EMan-hr5vf exactly. OKC can't use all those picks anyway. Their roster is already filled with really young guys
As a bucks fan, I’m pissed that the heat took ware
Hawks on a mission to remain mid forever. The most mid selection u could make with the 1st pick. And my God. That horrible pistons spacing with Ron Holland added to it is 🤢🤮
Alex Sarr is not him. There was no high upside (potential superstar) draft except for maybe Matas Buzelis but he could also end up being trash. Risacher was the best pick imo, they could have maybe traded it but I don’t think anybody really wanted the #1 pick
@@henry7486is he gonna be better then Jalen Johnson? Oneyka is trash, capela is done and sarr might be the best defender in the draft
This was the worst draft to have the #1 pick in honestly. I'd be very surprised if anybody taken in the top 10 becomes a perennial All NBA caliber player.
Y’all don’t know nothing 😂😂😂. The best player in the draft REFUSED to work out with the Hawks. Tell me how it makes sense to draft someone who doesn’t want to play for your team? Hawks already got enough drama as is
Zacc gotta big chance to be a damn good scorer. Like a KD level. People love being haters smh..
Asked this on the Donald Glover live last night. Al Horford or Trey Young??
The WOLVES!!!!!
Deny is underrated. Wizards are idiots to trade him.
Literally their best asset going forward and they move him like it’s nothing. Sarr would obviously become their bigger hope, Bilal is really good, and Kuzma has value, but it’s hilarious just punting on a guy when you’re so bereft of talent and guys who are solid defenders.
Wolves gave them a 2031 unprotected 1st and a 2030 top 1 protected pick SWAP! Even better for the Wolves
If the spurs make the right trades and moves they'll become a outside the lottery team for the future
@@Tobe-rt5ru I think the best thing the Spurs can do is use these picks as more ammo to get a star to put alongside Wemby and Castle!
The Nuggets got a steal with DaRon Holmes II.
What type is it
Deandre Ayton at Power Forward is his best and he’ll succeed alongside Clingan. People underrate Brogdon as a playmaker for Sarr
this draft didnt have a single hype prospect at all lol. I have a feeling theres gonna be alot of great players tho. the lowkey players always strive the most.
What’s the original channel name?
A little surprising!!?!!? ZACH EDEY WAS A TOP TEN PICK THIS IS AMAZING
i can see Dalton saying that he is "him"
I don't know why, but I just have a strange feeling Ayton is gonna end up on the Kings. Slide Sabonis to the 4, Keegan to the 3 With Fox and either Monk or Ellis as your SG. The idea has just been stuck in my head ever since Portland took Clingan.
I don’t think that makes any sense. Not only is it a spacing nightmare, it fundamentally opposes the offensive style that’s given them their success so far and it doesn’t even seem that beneficial defensively
Absolutely terrible for the Kings. Spacing nightmare and Ayton isn't a competitor at all he plays to get his check and while there's nothing inherently wrong with that that's not the kind of guy you'd want as one of your highest paid players attempting to build a title contender.
kings pass on this, they need someone like kuzma/jeremi grant
Yall talking about spacing but you forget he has the plug for roids. Would be big fir sabonis.
they never mentioned the 1st pick ever
The Ron Holland pick is so moronic, he's virtually a clone on Ausar Thompson.
I hate when people say a draft is trash. You never know whats gonna happen. People forget that Kobe Bryant took a couple years to get good

Wolves was in thier bag tonight !! Adding dill & Shannon to a team that made the wcf is elite stuff 👌that backcourt of dill & ant gonna be crazy

T-shannom shouldn't went earlier, so did knight. I hate the notion that these 4,5 year collegiate players don't have upside, but their skillset is tremendous.
*Knecht
As some one from Perth and watched alot of wildcats games in person last season. Sorry wizards fans
you want way too much out of him. saying to capitalize on his potential by shooting 7+ 3s on 40% is insane. only 6 players did it this year and 3 of them are superstars 2 were former all stars and then you have a 3 point specialist in divencenzo. as long as he can play great defense and score 20+ on good efficiency it was worth the pick the hawks don't need a franchise player they need a #2 or #3 option that knows his role and will play it well.
I don't think he's getting to 20 the dude averaged 10 in Europe it is easier to score in the nba but still wemby didn't jump up in ppg and Luka only improved 3-4 points I believe. Now those are generational guys who immediately became 1st options, it's hard to say how many touches rissacher will get imo it's a weird fit. U have Jalen Johnson, Hunter, Bojan and Bey (RFA) who can all play the positions Zach can and then u still have Trae and DJ who teams don't wanna trade for and the teams that do would give u less than pennies on the dollar so they're likely still gonna be on the team and need their touches
@@Sqeaky6969 not even in his rookie year, im expecting 12-3-4 his first year on his 43% from the field. im saying when he fully develops hes a 22-5-5 guy every night with great defense
Lol said let me get this right and then GOT IT WRONG. It’s a 2031 first and a 2030 pick swap. A first for first and swap. So long as ant and wemby are still playing on their teams that pick swap will be in the 20s and the 2031 pick will be later than 8. I get spurs fans that are annoyed.
I love the Bull’s pick
Laker fans already hyping up their draft pick, like clockwork 😂
Isn't every team?
Fans of every team do this lol. Lakers fans aren't special in that regard.
Lakers living in yo head rent fee lol. Knecht was projected to be a top 10 pick but he ended up failling at 17. Bet your goofy ass didn't know that 🤣 🤣

There is some giannis hidden in this draft trust me

Wolves getting Dillingham for a 1st & a swap is a steal even that far in the future are we sure spurs will be in position to want the swap lol
A team with wemby surrounded by a young core and the third most draft picks in the league 7 years down the line as opposed to… the wolves who have no picks and no cap in a small market with an aging core around Anthony Edwards ? Yeah they’ll want the swap lol. Wolves outlook that far in the future is pretty grim
@@ztlabraptor211even if kat and gobert are gone, the wolves will have rob dillingham jaden mcdaniels and ant all in their primes. the spurs virtually gave the 8th pick away for nothing. All they’re going to get is a bottom 10 pick 7 years down the line.
@@denzel8827 Jaden McDaniels and ant alone don’t guarantee you anything first off. Secondly we don’t know they’re still there, McDaniels will hit FA and ant may demand a trade as countless other stars have done. Thirdly Rob is far from a safe bet to be a meaningful contributor, let alone a star… the juries out on him. Most projections have him as a Lou will type player.

The irony of this is palpable. Sheppard is better than Dillingham at everything except ball handling and has better physical tools
@@ztlabraptor211yeah it's crazy Sheppard is the dude who's the best athlete arguably in the class and has a way more ready nba build at 20 pounds more than Dillingham when they got weighed at the combine
@@ztlabraptor211fr reeds fit is perfect thats low maintenance and efficient, also play some pesky-hard nosed defense with udoka. Felt like rob is more of a bucket-getter, but his usage rate would not bode well with the rest of high volume guys imo
Honestly what are the pistons doing!!!!
The spurs got absolutely fleeced. I actually can’t believe they just gave up Rob Dillingham and the 8th pick in the draft for a bag of chips. I’m in shambles.
You must rate Dilly extremely highly then. Seems like a lot of people are. I don't think it was a crazy fleecing. Spurs just got future assets for a player they probably don't love. Dilly would have been cool tho but yeah clearly most nba execs don't see him as a star or anything crazy.
@@SS-tz3qdthey might still trade for Trae and don't need a small guard with Trae, vesell and castle
@@SS-tz3qd i do rate dilly extremely highly, but it’s more of the fact that this next season and MAYBE the season after are the last chances the spurs are gonna get to take big swings and naturally develop these players next to wemby while he is as well. By year 3 or 4 he’s a perennial MVP candidate. They could’ve picked anyone else with upside like williams, buzelis, or carter, and it would’ve been fine. Yet they decide to trade the 8th pick and bet on the wolves being trash in 2030 and 31 with a prime ant mcdaniels and dillingham all on their roster, and i can guarantee the wolves are gonna flip KAT and Gobert in the next few years to fill their rosters future out again. i honestly believe there’s a 1% chance the twolves are so trash in the future it warrants giving up on the insane potential of dilly williams or buzelis, and it stings even worse because these players fit the exact archetypes they need. in the long term it doesn’t matter since spurs have a boatload of picks, but getting into the habit of just throwing away picks while you have little time to still develop these young players is just plain stupid imo. wasting any time while wemby can compete would be a shame, it would be like a repeat of those lebron years on the cavs.
@@Tobe-rt5ruthey're not trading for Trae, the spurs shut that down almost immediately after that came out, they tried and if he isn't gonna be on a discount he isn't worth it even on one he probably isn't worth it. Dillingham is nothing special in a normal draft he'd be closer to the 15-20 range closer to 20 than 15, he scores but that'll more than likely be his best nba skill while also being the worst defender in the league possibly and not adding much else. A Lou Will type and go look through Lou Wills career and see how many teams he actually helped
@@denzel8827 I think this all depends on what spurs do with these picks. It's worth remembering that this is seen as a insanely weak draft generally speaking (not to say there is no talent there) and so personally I don't feel too bothered about getting more assets for the future instead of drafting a player that you just don't care for. Doesn't mean Dilly won't be good but there are some clear questionmarks there. I also think the picks Spurs got in this trade are most likely gonna be used in another trade if I had to guess, regardless we really don't know how good the twolves will be in 2031. I mean thats 7 years away, we know that their whole core will pretty much be gone at that point and we have no idea what the team will look like as a whole. So the value of the pick is actually pretty decent just for that reason alone, not crazy value but not nothing certainly, would be different if it was their pick for next year for example. Anyway I think spurs will start using these assets soon enough to get another star with wemby and/or to start adressing issues with the squad. Assuming that happens and they start building a serious team around Wemby im good.
Hawks need to trade Trae mane
yooo
